I remember the pride of Londoners that their Bobbies didn't carry guns, just using nightsticks when absolutely necessary.
No more.
Criminal justice experts insisted rising crime in the UK, and particularly London, was more to do with the way the city was policed and blamed the reduction in neighbourhood patrols across the capital.
While both London and New York have populations of around 8 million, figures suggest you are almost six times more likely to be burgled in the British capital than in the US city, and one and a half times more likely to fall victim to a robbery.
London has almost three times the number of reported rapes and while the murder rate in New York remains higher, the gap is narrowing dramatically.
The change in fortunes of the two global cities has been put down largely to the difference in tactics adopted by the two police forces.
I read this crap and don't know whether to laugh at their stupidity or cry for the victims. I got this from a blog and won't repeat the vitriol of the blogger. But, it has to be clear to the blindest that this is attributal to only one source - Muslim gangs.
Full piece @ London now more dangerous than New York City, crime stats suggest and thanks to London is Now More Violent Than New York City for the heads up
